Make October 31st a day of Christian Edification...Celebrate the
Reformation!
 Did
you know that there is a great alternative to Halloween for
Christians? October 31st was the day that Martin Luther
pinned the 95 thesis on the Wittenburg Door in Germany in 1517 igniting the
Protestant Reformation throughout the world. Many of our
most cherished beliefs that we Bible-believing Christians hold
to such as Scripture Alone, Christ Alone, By Grace Alone and
to God Alone Be the Glory were rejuvenated by the
Reformation.
Please
go
to the article on CMI's web page "Reformation Day at Your
Church" for more details. The celebration of Reformation
Day at your church and in your home can be a God-honoring way
to shun the satanic excesses of Halloween.
 Children's
Ministry International has had a study book on the Reformation
available for some time called, "HEROES
OF THE REFORMATION".
We updated the book last year adding 6 Reformers and improving
the crafts and appendices. Now every major Reformer from
John Wycliffe through Jonathan Edwards has a visualized story
emphasizing his role in the Protestant Reformation.
You'll love learning about the lives of John Hus, John Calvin,
Martin Luther, John Knox, John Bunyan and others.
Like all of CMI's materials this book is reusable, non-dated,
non-graded, and for multiple ages. It is written for children
from kindergarten through 6th grade although we have found that
adults love it too!
 This
book will really spark up a Reformation Party with pictures
and stories. There are lots of ideas about how to incorporate
this book in your celebration of Reformation Day at your church
at the end of October. In the appendices we have given
lots of information about the satanic origins of Halloween and
how we can redeem this devilish night in a celebration of our
Reformation Heritage.

OF THE REFORMATION" study guide and teaching book

LOOKING AT THE UPCOMING
"ADVENT SEASON"
The Christmas Advent
Season will soon be here! Celebrating Advent
gives our children the true origin of Christmas
and the Incarnation of Christ. Throughout
the Old Testament we see stories telling of this
upcoming event. Let your children see why
saints such as Mary and Joseph, Zechariah
and Elizabeth (parents of John the Baptist), Simeon
and Anna (at the temple dedication of Jesus) in
the Gospel of Luke so looked forward to the coming
Messiah because of their knowledge of the Old Testament
signs pointing to Christ.
An Advent Series
 Why not celebrate
Advent in a special way this season? Children's
Ministry International (CMI) has Advent materials
called "THE
JESUS FAMILY TREE" for your church and home.
In each of the packets there are colorful symbols
in which you can construct a "JESSE TREE....the
Family Tree of Christ". The symbols represent
stories from the Old and New Testament that show
of Christ's coming to earth as Lord and Savior.
Advent Family Devotions
There is a special family
devotional addition that has a symbol and story
for everyday of Advent that is larger than our church
product, "JESUS'
FAMILY TREE..ADVENT FAMILY DEVOTIONS", which
has lessons for four weeks of Advent.
We have also introduced
a
coloring book
to help in the teaching at only $3.00
each with discounts for larger orders.
You'll be amazed at
how your children will rejoice to see Jesus in so
many stories pointing to His Birth as the God-man.
You'll want to use our materials over and over again
each Advent to reinforce this theme.
You'll want to look at these materials now and take
advantage of the discount to get 10% off!
